If you can believe it, Addi gained three ounces today! She weighed in at 3 lbs 12.7 oz. They said she will probably lose a little weight today since they made so many changes that would burn calories, but the weight gain was awesome. So, the changes - she now eats two out of three feedings. That means the only goal left to accomplish is to take all feeding by bottle. They said unless there are unexpected problems that arise, she will be home very soon. Right now, I am just at the hospital constantly to feed her - including the midnight feeding. I can't help it, I just want to be there. She has managed to maintain her body temperature so she is officially in the open crib. They have stopped fortifying her milk and now just add formula to the breast milk to increase the calories. This is what I will do when we come home. Pretty much everything they are doing right now is to simulate what we will do at home. Sometime this next week they will do a car seat check in which she will sit in her seat for 90 minutes while hooked up to the monitors to see how she does. She is officially looking very big to me. :)
The pictures are getting a little out of control, I realize. But as many as I post...there are 10 times as many on my camera.

We had to bring her a cute blankie, the ugly hospital ones would not do

Some of her clothes are a little big, but she still looks cute in them.
This is the full tummy, content, Addison look.
